I dunno either, but I just do it now as a sort of rule. It's easy
enough to do that I don't really care that it seems like a bug.

I don't think the difference between proc and lambda is significant
here. It's the fact that your actions are only defined for the main
app instance. window() creates a context that is basically a new
instance of an app. I think you could achieve what you did with your
dreaded global variable with Shoes owner() method.
